Spix's white-fronted capuchin explained

Spix's white-fronted capuchin (Cebus unicolor) is a species of gracile capuchin monkey. It had previously been classified as a subspecies of the Humboldt's white-fronted capuchin (C. albifrons). Following genetic studies by Boubli, et al, Mittermeier and Ryland elevated it to a full species.^{[1] [2] [3]}

Spix's white-fronted capuchin has a wide range within the upper Amazon Basin in Brazil and Peru.^[1] It also occurs in northern Bolivia. ^[1] It has a head and body length between 36.5and and a tail length of between 42and.^[1]
